The word
"biogeochemical" combines three parts: "bio" meaning life, "geo" meaning earth, and "chemical" meaning substances or elements. Together, it refers to processes and cycles in nature that involve the exchange and interaction of elements or chemicals between living organisms, the Earth, and its environment.

Although models of improved resolution for ocean circulation are being developed, they do not yet incorporate
biogeochemical properties.
Together with the CCS observations discussed above, the contrast with the NPSG coral data (while not directly comparable in terms of time scale), suggests that despite the fact that baseline δ15N declines are observed in both data sets, different
biogeochemical mechanisms may underlie the changes in these very different oceanographic regions.
The lab results are now being integrated
into biogeochemical models, which calculate the productivity of the ocean of the future and the limits of carbon storage.

influenced biogeochemical cycling of [oxidation] sensitive elements such as [iron] and [sulfur] and ultimately increased the oxygen concentration of the atmosphere,» the team writes in a paper published online today by the journal Science.
Concentrations in the groundwater were typically at least one order of magnitude lower than the concentrations in the treatment plant effluent, suggesting that the soil generally acted as an effective
biogeochemical filter, except during snowmelt events.
The researchers say that this new understanding of the
gold biogeochemical process and transformation may also help verify the authenticity of archaeological gold artefacts and distinguish them from fraudulent copies.
